Guest post by "Rachel" I wasn't as bothered by facial hair as most MTF transpeople typically are, mainly because it meant I wasn't a kid anymore, and I so hated being a child that I welcomed any sign of maturity. Until, that is, I saw what puberty did to me--it made the delicate features I had as a child harsh and (to my mind) ugly, gave me acne which scarred my face, and made my nose huge. (My father's Native American DNA kicked in with a vengeance). Had I known more about how to suppress hormones at thirteen, I might have swiped as many of my mom's birth-control pills as I could get away with.
But on the subject of Mars--yeah, he's pretty much like any teen boy.
